Fall camp: Sights and Sounds

The beginning of camp is always an anxious time as new faces are adjusting to a new level of football or to a new team. Teaching technique and scheme are taking place in a concentrated time frame and at a break neck speed in order to get ready for that first game.

Here is just a very small sample of some of the sights and sounds from last Saturday's practice as the 'Cats work on getting into winning form.

As usual (but not taken for granted) a great job by Wildcat 11 and Mrs.A labor of love is really no labor at all. I'm thankfull you're with us!!!Linfield, Wildcats, Catdome, September...heaven on earth!!!

Why "ADvantage Catdome"

I’ve had a number of people ask me why the blog is called ADvantage Catdome. So instead of repeating the explanation over and over, I thought I would just lay it out here.

Back in 1986 my father took me to my very first Linfield game, the final regular season game vs. Pacific (Linfield would roll the Boxers on their way to their 3rd NAIA title). I was 10 years old at the time and I can remember seeing these banners the pep squad/students have hung up on the fences around the Catdome. They read “We have the ADvantage”.

I pulled on my dad’s shirt and asked him what that meant. He pointed to the coaches box in the far back of Memorial stadium and said “You see that man there? That’s Coach Rustchman. He’s Linfield’s advantage.”

It wasn't until later that my dad told me Coach Rustchman’s first name was “Ad”. Get it now? Good. Go ‘Cats!
